Fluorine F 18 Clofarabine PET/CT in Imaging Patients With Autoimmune or Inflammatory Diseases

Early Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Autoimmune Disease
Crohn Disease
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Inflammatory Disorder
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Takayasu Arteritis
Interventions
Procedure: Computed Tomography
Radiation: Fluorine F 18 Clofarabine
Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography
Registration Number
NCT02925351
Lead Sponsor
Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
Brief Summary

This pilot trial studies how well fluorine F 18 clofarabine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in imaging patients with autoimmune or inflammatory diseases. Fluorine F 18 clofarabine is an imaging agent or tracer which may be taken up by inflammatory tissue in the body. Diagnostic imaging, such as PET/CT scans, can be used to measure the amount of injected tracer that is taken up by inflammatory tissue. PET/CT scan may help to determine how fluorine F 18 clofarabine is distributed throughout the body.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine how fluorine F 18 clofarabine (18F-clofarabine) is distributed in the body, in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

II. Determine whether 18F-clofarabine can be used to image patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive fluorine F 18 clofarabine intravenously (IV) and undergo a single PET/CT scan for up to 120 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Standardized Uptake ValueBaseline up to 240 minutes after injection

Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) will be the primary unit for assessment. Using standard PET/CT viewing software, the SUV will be measured for different organs and lesions of suspected disease and compared to reference/background tissues.
